We're all obsessed with Nashville here at Glamour, so needless to say I was like a kid in a candy cowboy boots store when I got to spend the day on set in Tennessee last month after cohosting the CMAs red carpet with Chris Carmack. Take a look around, why don't ya! This is the signage that greets you as you pull up to the studios, which is about a 20-minute drive from downtown Nashville. Rayna's fabulous kitchen (why they are not constantly baking in there is beyond me). Even the stove is spectacular. Gotta love this photoshopped picture of Rayna with President Clinton. Hilarious. The hallway leading into the kitchen and living room. Rayna's living room. Light the fireplace, give me some hot chocolate, and I'm moving in. Darling pics of the Stella sisters when they were extra-small. So cute! A couple of Rayna's many hit records. Nice job, set design! The patio behind Rayna's kitchen. Check out those extravagant drapes in Rayna's bedroom. It's like the White House of the South. Hand-painted portraits of Maddie and Daphne in Rayna's room. I couldn't resist. Considering I think I slept a total of 10 hours the entire week in Nashville, read more

Earlier this month, I spent the week in Nashville getting a crash course on the city, the culture, and the language, and, oh yeah, a trip to the set of ABC's Nashville. I'm completely obsessed with this show, but I'm probably more obsessed with the real-life Stella sisters (Lennon, 14, and Maisy, 9) who play Rayna James' daughters on the show, Daphne and Maddie. The girls were absolutely adorable when they joined costar Chris Carmack and me on the CMA red carpet and freaked out over Lucy Hale, but when we spent the afternoon together a few days later, I saw just how down-to-earth and lovely these girls are. They finish each others sentences, are the poster children for good manners, and will embrace you with hugs every chance they get. Glamour: Did Taylor Swift know you guys were singing one of her songs live at the CMAs? Lennon Stella: It was a total surprise. She saw the mics being set up and thought maybe we were performing for someone else. She had no idea. Maisy Stella: She even said, "Good luck, girls!" not knowing we were going to be singing for her. Lennon: We had never met her before! read more
